Summary
Wow. What a year.
2025 has been an unforgettable year for Great Company. We’ve had so many incredible guests who’ve shared funny, inspiring and truly special conversations on the show.
To celebrate another amazing year, I wanted to look back at some of those moments with you. These are conversations that made me see things differently, learn new things and reminded me how powerful it is to connect with others.
In this episode, we look back at six incredible guests:
- Cat Burns on small talk
- Riordan Maynard’s time in US prison
- Jessie J opening up about her cancer diagnosis
- Amol Rajan on coping with the loss of his Dad
- Spencer Matthews reflecting on our friendship
- Alain de Botton on how to make friends and build meaningful connections
